Ok, thanks for the clarification. I was just wondering, because it is
a newly published MIB module (not an update), and amoung the >180
published IETF MIB modules, there are just three "*-TC" MIBs, four
very old SMIv1 MIBs, and the HOST-RESOURCES-TYPES module, which is
also not a "typical" MIB, as the only exceptions. Anyway, I'm too
late, so I'll have to shut up now. :-)
